[QUOTE="valhallions, post: 6242335, member: 6762733"] Here is an excerpt from the book describing the history of the world as told by one of the main villains. [i]It is written, that in the late 21st century, the World was remade anew, destroying all that had ravaged it for so long. Mankind, who had neglected the Maker in favour of their electric luxuries, would be cast down and forced to atone for their pride. So it was that the time of change came. The Maker’s guiding hand summoned the holy triad to aid us in our redemption. The roaming astral body of Nibiru returned to our solar system reeking orbital havoc as it passed. This was the first. This holy traveller used its majesty to enhance the second mighty stroke. An overdue Polar shift, gifting to the Earth full geomagnetic reversal. The disruption to our orbit as well as the pole shift caused the earth to stop and the magnetic field to disappear. Mankind’s vanity proved to be their downfall as their heretical machines failed and betrayed them. Millions were lost as their machines malfunctioned and even plummeted from the sky itself. Greed and selfishness then ruled supreme as riots and looters began to prey on the weak and confused. So lost without their technology humans returned to a primal state and many were stained with the blood of their fellows. Nature, seeing man’s weakness decided to retake dominion from the savage hands of our ancestors. The tectonic plates of the planet shifted dramatically causing natural disasters of apocalyptic proportions. Earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes carved the land into Nature’s new empire. Plants grew wild and gained sentience, and wildlife evolved to their new surroundings and claimed their own new territories. Unable to adjust to their new position in the world mankind were beaten and on the verge of annihilation. The Maker ever just, decided to give us one more chance and summoned his third gift. From the centre of the Galaxy he sent forth the Serpent light, the means to redeem ourselves and atone for past transgressions. This cord of energy stretched out through the cosmos and touched mankind in its darkest hour. The Light then awoke a part of us long forgotten which allowed us to follow the Maker’s example and wield the elements. Humanity was given the gift of hope and for the first time in centuries threw down their worthless technology and banded together to survive. Communities and tribes formed throughout the new world and we began to grow and adapt. Mankind, crippled since the great blackout, now rose from its knees and stood proud under the Makers gaze. We built towns in the harshest environments with our own hands and we fought back the creatures who would see us fall. We were strong and we were forgiven. Now, in what we believe to be the 26th century of the old calendar, the so called Scholars, think they have found a new heathen power source. A way to regain their blasphemous technology from the histories. Fables like the hyper cities, buildings of glass, lights that never burn out, thinking mechanisms and even machines capable of flight. The very artefacts that angered the Maker to the point of global destruction. These heathens wish to find them and learn from them. They must be stopped at all costs. They have called upon all who are foolish enough to leave the shelter of the Makers hand to seek out these lost relics. In order to save the world from divine wrath we must destroy these devices and even turn our hands against our wayward brethren if need be. We must atone and some sacrifices may be needed. If salvation lies in a path of blood then so be it...
